And I agree, while I shoot 9mm and 30-06 today, my heart is still with .45 and .308. But the .308 may have to wait even longer now that I've discovered .270. |

I bought the wife a five shot hammer less s&w we took it out to shoot and she didn’t like so I shot it and it was damn sure hard to hold on to for the power it had. I didn’t realize the difference in a 38 and the plus p big difference lol.

Oh, I hear you and I agree completely. Hell, the 9 is ok, I mean I get along with the round just fine but like you, my heart is with the .45... On a side note, I'm damned glad I stocked up well a year or so back with the 45 ammo...well, hell, the .45, the 9mm, the .380, the 5.56 and the 7.62 and the 7mm. I sleep much better at night.. |

PROTIP - do not impulse buy a SCCY and then expect to get anything for it when you try to trade it in and upgrade down the road.

My memory doesn't serve me as well today as it did 10 years ago, so if this is a repeat - sorry...
My Dad bought 3, 7mm German Army Mausers from K-Mart back in 63?-64? straight out of a barrel of cosmolene in the store for $25 per. WWII models. He completely refinished them from the ground up - made them absolutely beautiful. He kept one, gave my Brother and I one. Over the years, I don't know what happened to my Fathers' rifle (he may have sold it years later) and my Brother gave his to his 2 year old - before he headed to Viet Nam. His Son took possession some 10-12 years later when he passed. I still have mine and cherish it every day. When I wanted to hit a deer at distance, I dial in the Leupold and take it out. Venison in the freezer and the rifle never lets me down. Of all my weapons - that damned old Mauser means the most to me. One day my Son will inherit it. |

Much like trading cars, you're never going to get good value on trading a gun at a store. I remember when I tried to trade a little snubnose .38, and what they offered was ridiculous. I ended up selling it to a buddy and got a much better price.
